I'm looking for a patch panel (two actually) to mount to a wall. Rack mount panels can be adapted, but since this is for a tenant, I want the wiring to be secure (well, I never want wiring showing, but some installations need to be more "vandal resistant" than others).

The two I'm looking for are:
Cat 5e (RJ45) - 16 or 24 port and
RG6U (F connector) - 16 port

The F connector panel is easy enough to make, so that's not essential, but the RJ45 panel is.

Thanks.
 
Call a place like Datanet etc and ask them for wallmount patch panel brackets.
 
No luck. It seems like my only options are to make a mounting bracket (out of Al duct, maybe) or to import. I guess they're not available locally.
 
Give Krone a call and see if they have anything on offer, they have a variety of frames & stuff in their catalogue.
 
I didn't call Krone; I'd just had too many people going "Hey?" and I gave up. But progress is being make! Custom laser cut boxes to hold a Scoop patch panel, make from aluminium duct costing about R 180 complete. Will post pics when they arrive (Tuesday or Thursday)
